INTRODUCTION TO EUROPEAN PARTITIVES IN COMPARISON
that, given the space constraints of introductions,” overviews of groups of
languages, vast previous research areas such as Proto-Uralic," or notes on the
history of Uralic linguistics" must discuss partitives or any other overarching
cognitive and not specifically typical grammatical categories. Even if the partitives
of Uralic are special because the rich morphology expresses abstract partitive
meanings as well as concrete, and because partitive relations are a relevant part
of various areas of Uralic grammars, our overview is rather to be understood
as something that shows how pervasive the phenomenon of partitives in the
grammars of other languages could also be but remain undetected. In works
that encompass Uralic languages within a specific framework in linguistics,
one example may be an LFG overview of Uralic by Laczkö, the partitives may
receive more encompassing treatment.” Also in cognitive approaches such as
Huumo, the relationships between broader categories and the levels of grammar
become more central than in more detailed but, for partitive phenomena, also
more fragmented descriptive works.
Morphologically encoded partitives appear in all Finnic languages and also
in Inari, Skolt, and Kildin Saami. Next to general chapters on Saamic,*! Bakré¬
